Solo/squad battles would be a nice addition for the strictly offline crowd. It gives users an opportunity to play meaningful 9 inning games against the CPU.
The way other games do it, you can choose the difficulty level you want to play on, and the reward points you receive coincide with your performance against that team, on that difficulty.
Probably 1 game per weekday, 2 on the weekends would be the sweet spot for amount of games.
Is it 1 time play through? For instance someone can't play it on rookie get rewards and then play on veteran? Essentially double dipping?
You play the battle once, on your chosen difficulty. That's all you get. Then you wait for the next battle to be active.

So this mode wouldn't replace conquest just be another avenue for offline rewards?
What kind of rewards would you suggest? Are we talking diamond players or just perhaps packs, stub, and xp?

It is just another avenue to play offline, except there would actually be a point in playing 9 inning games vs the CPU. No need to get rid of Conquest.
I would imagine the rewards would be packs and stubs. I suppose they can add choice packs, specific cards, XP, or whatever else as well. Usually the reward levels are tiered, with rewards being packs and stubs.
-
- Repayable
- Rewards based on difficulty selected.
- BR / Events type restrictions to force you to use different cards.
- CPU theme teams.
think babe ruth grind from last year but entirely in conquest.
it would be nice to have best of each team/ division/ league/ coast or area/ card type teams to play. - Wouldn't be opposed to some maps with 6 or 9 inning games occasionally.

Sounds like something i would do as long as it doesn't replace conquest. And are you using whatever players you want? Or are there parameters?

Maybe a new "barn storming" mode or something along those lines would be really cool. I just really want them to not have any full games within moments. full games should be in conquest or another mode.

You can use whatever you want. It's not events. If you want to use your best team, or a team to complete dailies or TA, that up to you.

Then i have a problem with it if that's the case. People who spend money on players (early game) would have advantage. Rewards would then have to be same for everyone along with difficulty.

Im hearing ‘meaningful games vs CPU’, I’m thinking ‘Franchise mode’
Solution would be to allow DD cards to be used in Franchise mode. Everybody wins.
-
I really miss Solo Battlees in DD. Because except of Conquest, there is nothing where you can use your team offline.
When you complete Conquest once, there is no point in playing it for second time. In Solo Battles you could get rewards weekly based on your skill and difficulty on what you played those games -

You are missing the point. The collection part of DD. Completionists are a major section of DD players.

Yes I did. I’m a non-DD player so I hope you can forgive me. I still think I might have something though

Playing conquest is more than just the hidden rewards 1 time only.
Some like it b/c it is only 3 inning games. You can also use conquest as a tool for daily missions. 15 inning with dodgers players for instance._ put players from dodgers play 1 game and you have daily reward.
Or you can stack you team with specific player to work towards team affinity. The whole time earning xp and program points as well.
It is a strategy mode like Risk, which is one of the reasons why i would like to see dif starting points on US map.

I’ve had nothing but positive interactions on this forum and will continue to do so..it’s a known fact that there are people that play strictly offline..it’s a known fact that there’s people that focus online..people do conquest for inning stars...or certain programs. You shouldn’t be so insecure about a video game dude lighten up..quit complaining about being talked down too when you obviously weren’t, then try and talk down to other by trying to flex that you have a famous ball player in the family. Grow up

@htonsecurity5x said in Obviously not this year:
I dunno..it gets pretty menotonous, but I do understand the importance of conquest to the offline playing crowd.
And why would you automatically call it a mode for the offline "crowd?"
So am i to assume the "online" crowd doesn't play it to gain points for Boss cards? Or the "Online Crowd" never plays it to gain points for the team affinity?
Get the hell outta here with your poor attempt of trying to split community into online or offline groups. Can't stand people like you that try present themselves as a superior to others. Why because you play MP? The game is Baseball the love of the game is why we all buy it.
And you even described it as "monotonous" so maybe all the more reason to maybe spruce it up.
-
Ans to add, I’d like to see more conquests for all stages of affinity. As well as programs. There should be one conquest map per week or bi weekly for something..there is no point of playing a conquest map twice. If you’re looking for the 15 inning daily mission. Load up your team play vs cpu as the home team and play an inning and a half and be done with it...when the new game drops and the content is coming wide open, repeating conquests isn’t an option

Forgive me but i had this convo last year with people and they made comments toward people who played offline calling them "Lesser skilled players essentially" so when you referred to "offline players" my first thought was ah hell here we go again with the elitist mentality group. And btw i'm very secure.
As far as "flexing" a comment was made by one of those same people i referred to earlier try to get me riled up about Arenado trade b/c i had Rockies logo prior to logos changing so it was blatantly obvious he was attempting to get under my skin, and at that point i merely said i had a soft spot for the team arenado went to b/c i had a family member in the HOF that played for same team. So intention was not so much trying to flex just pointing out fact that it did not bother me he got traded to that team.

As far as loading up team with players and playing inning and a half well my brain doesn't work that way i don't do things half assed. If i load to play 9 inning i'm playing fulll 9 innings. Hope this clears things up for you.

Yes, of course, you can play vs cpu games, you can gain progress in TA, but what is the reward for this vs cpu game? It's 15 stubs, some xp and 1 card (bronze mainly). These rewards are ridiculous. In Solo Battles you can do everything you suggested, but you would be rewarded much better after one week of playing.
And how many Conquest maps we get in one inning? It's usually one, sometimes two and after that there is nothing. Maybe if SDS would do TA Conquests repeateble, there would be some point doing them twice.
All I'm asking is more offline content, where you can use your team and it would have some meaning. I like playing online, but I'm not in the right mood to play online every day

I think we are on the same page. As far as offline rewards go vs 9 inning CPU. But you have to admit the hidden rewards in each of programs conquest were fire even if it was only 1 or 2 maps.
I guess what i'm trying to determine in regards to solo battles is what you guys are presenting is essentially what M2O already does as far as TA goes.
So maybe we should be asking for M2O format and use DD lineups? Obviously not franchise M2O but M2O TA format. I dunno just spiff balling trying to meet in the middle so every1 is pleased and makes it fun for every1

Hoping 21 has more single
Player. Pretty hyped for the RTTS/DD mix
